they want us to do something about it. it's important for us to speak out about that. because otherwise we lose everything. we lose participation, we lose people, you know, wanting to be involved and engaged in politics, wanting to run for elective office. and those who pay the piper just get to carry off in the process. we can't allow that to happen. and so i believe in disclosure, but i don't think we can end that disclosure. i think we have to go a step further. we want to promote that kind of transparency, though, in the political process. we want to enhance public reporting by corporations and unions and all outside groups. i'm happy to let anybody know who's funding my elections. all of us should be pleased to do that because we know that it contributes to public confidence in us as elected officials. i want to stand by any ad and say i approve this message. well, a corporation should stand by and say that they approve that message too. i want to know who's behind that -- those ads. and so i think we still have 16 legislative days left in this congress, bring dis

all of us recognize that it is a risk. but as ambassador ford said, but it is not a question right now of alawites vs. sunnis. but it is the local mafia that has hijacked the entire state of syria for four decades to enrich itself and protect itself against the syrian people. that is what is happening right now. >> thank you. senator rich? >> ambassador ford, first of all, thank you for your service. i applaud your statement that what our policy is and you conveyed that to the opposition and what they need to do and how they think about this. having said that, in looking at what is happening on the ground out there, your statement about being a complex society is an understatement. i understand. you have the druids and the kurds and the sunnis and about a dozen other smaller groups. the difficulty i have is -- they do not have much of a history. our culture has trouble thinking along those lines because they are so segregated. they are not like we are where we amalgamate into one society. they are very, very segregated. th
